review

Mom and dad were watching the other day and it caught my attention while cooking, so when I saw it at the library, I decided to check it out. I did like the previous one with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz.

Well, I do lust Tom Cruise and he did oblige in this movie, so how could I not like it. It was a fresher version on the mummy’s tale, with an ending that leaves the door open for a sequel or spin off – on which subject matter, I will not say, so as not to spoil the ending of The Mummy. There were moments of levity throughout the movie, especially whenever Sgt. Vail (Jake Johnson) was in the scene. I especially appreciated the creativity to include another monster within The Mummy.
